Husband leaving for iraq?

Question

My huband is a US Marine and is leaving for Iraq 2 months after our daughter is born for the second time. I am so scared that when he gets back he wont have a strong bond with her. He is going to miss 8 months of her life. I know that this happens all the time but just would like to hear from some of you ladies out there Please.

Answer 1

Well...my boyfriend at the time didn't leave for iraq, i'm sorry to hear its happening to you again.  My boyfriend left to go back to school and he missed out on 9 months of his son's life.  Though it took a little while for the bond to grow they are closer than ever. try not to stress...show his picture...and have his voice recorded and stuffed in a teddy bear. Lol...a bulid a bear.  My son loves him.
